Donald Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie and endorsed Ed Gallrein, Massie’s primary challenger, ahead of a trip to Kentucky. Trump criticized Massie’s past disagreements with him and challenged him to support the SAVE America Act.
Trump accused Massie of disloyalty and called him the “worst” congressman, while backing Gallrein in the Republican primary. The article says Trump and Massie have clashed over federal spending and foreign policy, including operations against Iran, and that the primary is scheduled for May 19.
In a post quoted by the article, Trump criticized Massie’s record of voting “NO,” praised Gallrein, and urged voters to support him. Trump described the SAVE America Act as including voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements, limits on mail-in ballots, and provisions on transgender athletes and surgery for minors; he said he would not sign further legislation until the bill passed the Senate.
